Berean Strong's Lexicon resh: Head, top, summit, beginning Original Word: רֵאשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root רֹאשׁ (rosh), meaning "head" or "chief." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2776 (κεφαλή, kephalē): Often used in the New Testament to denote "head" in both literal and metaphorical senses, similar to "resh." Usage: The Hebrew word "resh" primarily denotes the "head" or "top" of something, often used metaphorically to signify the beginning or the most important part. It can refer to the literal head of a person or animal, the top of a mountain, or the chief or leader of a group. In a broader sense, it can also imply the start of a period or the foremost position in rank or importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of the "head" was deeply symbolic, representing leadership, authority, and the source of life. The head was considered the seat of wisdom and decision-making. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical texts where "resh" is used to denote leadership or the beginning of something significant. The head was also seen as the most honored part of the body, often anointed in rituals to signify blessing and consecration.
